Bio
.... Liz lives in Belfast Northern Ireland, and enjoys leading worship in her home church, Covenant Love Church, in the heart of the city of Belfast. She sings and writes her own original material, and has also co-written with the talented musician/producer, Paul Mcilwaine. They have recently completed Liz's latest album, 'Pure' .... Liz Has traveled to America, Germany, England and Southern Ireland to sing she has had a number of her songs published and recorded for Kingsway and Authentic Record labels, including the popular series, The Heart of Worship vol.7 Liz did backing vocals on a CD project called 'Chosen', it is a unique compilation of biographical narrative adapted from st. Patricks own writings joined together with scripture and spontaneous prayer, blended with inspiring music. You can listen to a track here and if you would like to buy a CD, go to www.rrm-ireland.org The ' Chosen ' CD is also available as an instrumental. .... Liz recorded her album, The Dream, in Nashville,in her own words she tells of the experience,"I was with wonderful friends out there, Neil and Susan Andrews. Neil is a wonderfully talented musician and producer,and i had the privilege of spending time recording with him" My new CD is now available from CDbaby, click below. .......... . Reviewed by Tim Holden Cross Rhythms Belfast-based Liz went to Nashville to record this album and the quality of production and musicianship shows from the opening chords of "Rain Down Righteousness" to the strident bonus track hidden at the end. The piano lines are beautifully understated and counterpoint Liz's rich vocal lines along with the judicious use of percussion and Chester Thompson's wonderful drums on the occasional track. Both the Celtic hymns included here, "Be Thou My Vision" and "When I Survey" are both tastefully arranged but have been recorded so many times before it is very difficult to do anything new or different with them other than showcase Liz's voice. The self-written songs tend display a much softer side to her voice, particularly the lilting title track, and give the album a very pleasant, gentle Celtic feel. Liz was honoured to be presented with a Radio Mike Award at the UKCMA 2010 event, which was presented to her by George Hamilton 1V, for her contribution to Christian music. Number 1 in the NCM UK charts wk ending 19th June 2010 " — UKCMA "Liz's voice has a clear sweet irish quality and her sound crossess the boundaries between folk classical and contempory worship. Fiona McCarney. " — Faith For Life Magazine "When you find something like the music that Liz writes and her voice, its easy to get excited. William Thompson EMS Audio" — Spectator Liz has just completed an album of twelve songs, entitled, 'Pure' in collaboration with musician and producer, Paul Mcillwaine,formerly a member of 80's band, The Tearjerkers' It is now available on itunes, and also in CD format from: www.bertmccormick.co.uk Reviewed by Paul Kerslake Liz's previous album 'The Dream' was recorded in Nashville and was a relatively gentle Celtic acoustic affair. For the follow up Liz collaborated with Paul McIlwaine, and unusually the album was created completely online from their respective locations, they didn't actually meet each other face to face. The 13 tracks contained within are composed of various styles, from the dance with a hint of Bhangra for the opener "Holy Holy" to the pop of "Holy Rain" and simple acoustic of the title track and "Whispers Of Love". The guitar playing on these two tracks is really exceptional and highlights Paul's expertise with an acoustic. As the album progresses more and more exposure is given to the acoustic side of Paul's production and playing. I like the fact that Liz has experimented with different styles throughout the album, however, when it's just her voice and Paul's guitar, something quite magical happens. Liz and Paul continue to write new songs together. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............ ....Myspace Layouts.. / ..Purple dayz.. / ..Hot Comments.. / ..Image Hosting.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
